From 2011 to 2012 I was lucky enough to be able to travel around the world.

My backpack and I left Rome for eight months travelling towards the EASY, living a continuous summer across all the continents and experiencing incredible and unrepeatable experiences.

The thrill of a hunting lioness, the feeling os being so small on the Great Wall and the magic on Easter Island, dancing all the night at the Full Moon Party, participating in the Carnival in the Rio Sambadrome. But there was also the fear of dying under a landslide, the terror of being surrounded by a shark and feeling smelled by 'something', in the dark Amazon forest night. The risk of getting lost in the Patagonia and the anger of been robbed halfway through the trip.  On a bike with Cambodians, surfing with Australians, playing football on the beach with Brazilians, drinking wine with Argentines... everyday was a new story with new people, giving me the priceless feeling of having the freedom to manage and live every day of ,y life.

There are so many and so strong emotions that will remain indelible forever in my memory and for my whole life.

In these pages you will find, day by day, some short stories about the greatest adventure of my life

People from the Moon - part 2

When around 7 AM the sun suddenly rises, the beach does not appear to realise that the moon is not shining in the black sky anymore.

It is completely sunlight yet Full Moon party continues... (READ FULL MOON PARTY - PART 1)

Still with fancy dress, still drinking beer, people still continue to dance, as the new day never started.

I am pretty sure that, for some of them, the new day actually never started...

While locals tryes to provide transportation to people leaving on other side of the island, first sunlight customers arrive and there is a weird mixture of 'moon' and 'sun' people. They even start a football match between the empty bottles.

Yet the best part is to come. There is a sleeping area for those who realized they were about to collapse. Two people in total. The rest of the beach is scattered with people fallen asleep, some of them against any possible physic law...

That was full moon party. The ligth side, at least. It is 9 AM, I've been 'up and running' over the last 24 hours now, to me it's still yesterday and I need some sleep... good night !
